He was a frightened little man, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
He almost loved her more than I did, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

It seems he had a vague obsession, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
I wasn't worried for myself, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Time and time again he called here, yet never said a word

And then she moved away from me, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
She doesn't live here anymore, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

When last I had him on the phone, I crumpled (up) and I cried
And told him how she left me, disbelieving
Mine was an arrow that he narrowly escaped
He only asked me where she was

Time and time again he called here
For any trace of her, she hadn't left a clue

I read about him in the news, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
It seems he blew his face away, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
I watched them put him in the dirt, oh, yeah
He was the lucky one... He was the lucky one, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
He was the lucky one, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
He was the lucky one, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

Time is an arrow that he narrowly escaped, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
